The Blades have been badly hit by a catalogue of injuries in recent weeks but Blackwell could start with the same side that began in last week's victory at Bristol City.

Striker Henri Camara, who scored on his home debut in the recent win over Peterborough, remains sidelined with a hamstring strain and defender Jonathan Fortune is struggling with a similar problem, although he has a grade two tear.

Goalkeeper Ian Bennett is nursing a nasty thumb injury so Blackwell must choose between Carl Ikeme, who made his debut last week, and Mark Bunn, on loan from Wolves and Blackburn respectively.

Defenders Gary Naysmith and Derek Geary, both recently recovered from long-term knee injuries, are struggling with muscle strains and will be rested while Kyel Reid misses out due to a viral infection.
